Chapter 11 The Aftermath of a Job
"Xiao Ming, are you okay? I heard those scoundrels from yesterday are here again," Old Yang asked with concern. "They followed you into the house. Did they do anything to you?"
"It's okay, they don't dare to do anything." Li Ming shook his head and smiled. It must be the neighbors nearby who told Mr. Yang what happened yesterday.
That's why Old Yang came knocking on the door, but when he glanced at Old Yang's shop, it was closed.
Rushed back early in the morning?
"That's good." Old Yang's anxious expression eased slightly. He glanced at Li Ming's neck and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ming's current tiredness is not pretended, but is no different from his usual state.
"But this will soon be over." Old Yang grinned, seeming to be in a good mood. "I found a job for you."
"Work?" Li Ming was stunned.
Elder Yang nodded. "Yes, it's certainly not a simple job. I'm an external person assisting the City Guard Department, but I'm still considered a City Guard and can wear a uniform."
"Assisted guard?" Li Ming was even more surprised. City Guard - full name is Silver Gray City Security Protection Operations Department, similar to the police.
With my qualifications, can I still enter this kind of department?
"You could say that when the time comes, those guys will avoid you." Old Yang nodded and took a breath. Seeing this, Li Ming asked Old Yang to go into the house and have a drink of water first.
"Hey, why are so many things missing?" Old Yang noticed something was wrong, and Li Ming changed the subject: "Is it Uncle Yang?"
"That's right." Old Yang sat on the chair, supporting his crutches with both hands, his back straight, and there was a look of relief and pride on the old man's face.
This is not for Li Ming, but for the original owner of the house.
"Will this put Uncle Yang in a difficult position?" Li Ming hesitated.
"I've raised him for so many years, so what if he does something for me? It's not a crime. You can still help him do something when you go in." Old Yang said loudly.
Li Ming smiled helplessly. Given his original condition, what use would he be in going in except being a termite?
However, he is not resisting now. This identity is not bad. At least it can solve the apparent embarrassment and make his changes less noticeable. It also has other benefits.
"Don't be embarrassed. You will go to work in a few days. I have asked him to arrange everything!" Mr. Yang thought that Li Ming was shy and embarrassed to agree, so he said directly.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Li Ming said solemnly.
"It's a small matter." Old Yang waved his hand. Li Ming sent Old Yang back to rest. After coming back, he didn't want to sleep anymore and browsed the Black Hole Network.
With such a huge sum of money in hand, he naturally wanted to transform it into strength, so he subconsciously wanted to check the gene seeds.
But his face soon turned dark. The cheapest "Giant Ant" gene seed cost 80,000 star coins, which was a huge premium.
The market price of this thing is only 40,000, and sometimes there are discounts.
"Let's buy some metal materials." Li Ming said helplessly. The heavy sniper rifle was always on Li Ming's mind, and he wanted to control it as soon as possible.
"Iron, steel alloy, titanium alloy, zirconium alloy, scarlet alloy... titanium crystal... liquid metal... nanometal..." There was a dazzling array of items, and Li Ming flipped through them unconsciously. When he saw the prices, his face suddenly darkened.
Screening, no more than 10,000 star coins per ton.
Finally, he locked on a zirconium alloy, which cost exactly 10,000 star coins per ton. With a wave of his hand, he bought a ton directly. He had no shortage of money!
【Please select the delivery address】
The pop-up window made Li Ming frown. He definitely couldn't fill in his own home.
He tried to fill it out and found that there was a shipping fee, which was extremely high, 10% of the total cost. If it was an area with extremely strict inspection, the price would be even higher.
"Fuck, why don't you go and rob it!" Li Ming cursed.
Finally, he set the delivery address as a desolate area in the outer city, far away from where he went last night. Ma Wu was dead, and Scarface Tiger would definitely have some reaction.
[Once the transaction is completed, the purchased item will be delivered to the designated location within 36 hours. The delivery person will only watch over the item for half an hour. If the item is lost, please be responsible for it yourself.]
"grass"
There are many bandit protocols in the Black Hole Network, but who can blame them for being so powerful? The big guys can only endure it, let alone Li Ming.
…
At the same time, just as the sky was getting light, on a rooftop somewhere on Hong Street, Zhang Hu's face was gloomy, and the scar on his face was twitching. The accomplices around him looked ferocious, and two broken bodies were lying on the ground.
Soon, several jet shuttle aircraft drew a beautiful arc, swung their tails and landed on the side.
The butterfly door opened, and eight or nine people came down. They were wearing blue and black combat uniforms and had solemn expressions. Fifty centimeters above their heads, there was a flying video recorder.
When they saw the situation here, they all frowned. The leader was extremely burly, like an iron tower, with a pair of bull eyes and a full beard.
"Who reported the case?" He looked around with his eyes narrowed.
"I." A sharp voice came from a woman with heavy makeup. The smoky makeup on her eyes was uncomfortable. She said nonchalantly:
"My husband is dead. The one on the ground is... left or right? Oh, the one on the left..."
The bearded man signaled his men to start working, and several people around him went up to perform the autopsy, taking out various instruments and doing it in an orderly manner.
"The time of death was between 7 and 8 last night. He died from having his head smashed by a heavy object. There was a laceration on the left arm of the male corpse, suspected to be..." The person who spoke glanced at the screen next to him, and the three-dimensional lines formed a drill bit.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Injured by the drill."
"There's basically no chance of resistance. It seems they were attacked by an F-class lifeform. Perhaps they were mechanically modified and their belongings were completely looted."
A middle-aged man, folding his arms and looking around, sighed: "The person who did it is a veteran. There are no footprints or fingerprints. There are no surveillance cameras here, so it's hard to find..."
"Scarface, something happened on your territory. Why did you think of calling the police? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?" someone asked with interest.
"Do your job!" the bearded man yelled, then turned to look at Zhang Hu: "What did he do yesterday? Who did he come into contact with? Does he have any enemies?"
"He's just a small-time character. No one would kill him for no reason. As for what he did yesterday, that's your job." Zhang Hu said in a deep voice, "I hope Captain Yang will be serious and responsible."
Receiving Zhang Hu's gaze, the woman with smoky makeup shuddered and said hurriedly, "Yes, I am his legal wife. I want to know who the murderer of my husband is. You must tell me anything you know!"
Captain Yang glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Li, verify her identity and take her back for record keeping. Also, take these two bodies. Lao Dao, you stay and seal off this place."
"Zhang Hu, you should cooperate. I don't need to waste my time on his basic information, right?"
"No problem." Zhang Hu nodded.
The group quickly left. On the way back, the young man angrily said in the chat: "Captain, this bastard is clearly using us to help him find the murderer."
"Of course I know." Captain Yang nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes that didn't match his physique. "What I'm curious about is that Scarface doesn't even suspect anyone. The gangs have been living in peace for a long time. Even if they were to take action, they wouldn't pick on such a small-time villain."
"Where did the person who did this come from? Go back and check his star network to see who he's been in contact with recently and where he's been. Check for anyone who's recently passed through with armed prosthetic limbs."
"By the way, Xiao Li, you take care of the new guy." Captain Yang reminded again.
"Ah?" A miserable groan and a few voices of gloating were heard in the channel.
Xiao Li complained: "Captain Yang, can we not bring him? I heard he's a bit of a taciturn person, a coward..."
Captain Yang said casually, "Just to give you some practice. So much nonsense. When you first came here, you were wearing glasses too. You're not talking shit at all."
The channel suddenly burst into laughter, "That's right, Xiao Li, help the little brother, what's wrong?"
"How can it be the same..." Xiao Li muttered a few words. Knowing that the newcomer was related to Captain Yang, he could only accept this tough job.
Captain Yang shook his head. He didn't want to take Li Ming in either. It wasn't that he looked down on him, but the kid was clearly not cut out for it. It was like raising him for nothing.
Oh, forget it. Brother Changhai has taken a lot of care of me in the past. He sighed. His father’s dominance was one factor, and his past friendship with Li Changhai was another.
Just keep it.
